Mao Gong Mountain is a composite of several peaks. It earned the name “Mao Gong Mountain” because its shape strikingly resembles Chairman Mao lying on his back. The bare rocks on the mountain form the outline of the chest, abdomen, and the hands resting gently over them, while naturally grown trees resemble eyelashes, eyelids, and eyeballs. The area spans 20,000 square meters, with a relative height of 160 meters and a maximum circumference of 12,000 meters.
To protect the trees on the mountain, the Boli County government has explicitly prohibited logging. Thanks to the natural formation of the mountain and its foliage, it is easily accessible for viewing.
